Expert Pest Control Solutions In Aventura, FL

What does pest control in Aventura, Florida look like? It begins with you. There are many things you do to maintain your home that can also help you with pest control, things such as weather-proofing. When you replace weather stripping and door sweeps and also seal gaps in your exterior, you keep the cool air from escaping your home during the hot summer months. Doing this will also help to keep pests from entering your home.

When you rake up organic debris in your yard and remove it, you remove pest habitats and reduce pest activity. When you clean your gutters or repair broken portions of your gutter system, you reduce the perimeter moisture that can attract pests. When you put your trash in covered containers and get it to the curb faithfully each week, you prevent your trash (or the scent of a dirty trash receptacle) from attracting pests.

Do you see how it works? All of these things can help you with pest control. This kind of pest maintenance is okay at keeping pests out of your home and preventing pest problems in your yard, but there is more than can be done. Join us as we talk about how you can ramp up from okay pest control to good, better, or best pest control in Aventura, Florida.

At Lindsey Pest Services, we like to keep things simple. That is why we call our general pest service programs: Good, Better, and Best.

The products we apply will reduce pest populations and create barriers to keep pests out of your home, but some pests aren't completely deterred by these treatments.

Three Tricks To Keep Bed Bugs Out Of Your Aventura Home

Bed bugs are hitchhiking pests. The secret to keeping these pests out of your home is to be proactive about preventing them from coming home with you (or anyone else who comes into your home).

  1. Do a bed bug inspection when you spend the night away from home. Look in cracks, recesses, and tight spaces for black fecal spotting, shed skins, tiny white eggs, or the bed bugs themselves.

  2. Protect your laundry by putting laundry items in a sealed plastic bag.

  3. When you return home, run all your laundry through a 30-minute dryer cycle to exterminate bed bugs in all stages of development. You can also put duffel bags, backpacks, and other dryer-safe items through a dryer cycle.

If you find bed bugs in your Aventura home, reach out to Lindsey Pest Services for our bed bug control service. These pests are notoriously difficult to exterminate. Our technicians have the training and experience to get this tough job done right.

 

Why Rodent Infestations In Aventura Are Best Left To The Professionals 

When you find evidence of mice or rats living in your home, what should you do? Our advice is to contact a rodent control professional. Here are a few of the many reasons why:

  • Rodents create holes to get into your home. The holes they create can allow cool air to get out during the summer months and also allow insects to get in. In addition, the holes will allow moisture into your walls which can lead to wood rot, mold, and other issues.
  • Rodents don't stop creating holes once they get inside. They can chew holes in stored furniture, boxes, and other items. They can chew holes in baseboards. They can chew holes in food packages.
  • Rodents don't just chew holes. They are known to chew on wires. If a live wire is severed, it can lead to a fire.
  • Rodents damage building materials to collect material for their nests. Some things they might damage are wallpaper, insulation, and carpets.
  • Rodents spread bacteria and parasitic worms and their droppings can be a source of human pathogens.
  • Rodents carry fleas and ticks which are also known to transmit diseases to humans.

Are Ants In Your Adventure Home Dangerous? 

Most ants are not considered dangerous. While they can get into your home and spread harmful bacteria from trash bins to food-preparation surfaces, you're only like to get a stomach ailment. But we do have two kinds of ants in Adventure, Florida that can present a danger.

  • Fire ants are stinging pests. If they sting an individual who has a stinging insect allergy, there is a danger of severe symptoms. Fire ants also present a threat to those who can't get away from their stings, such as infants, certain seniors, and the infirm.
  • Carpenter ants are wood-damaging pests. When they get into structures and create a nest, their tunneling activities can create lots of damage, over time.

There are many ways to naturally control ants. We have blogs on this topic. But if the ants in your yard are fire ants or carpenter ants, we don't recommend natural methods. It is best to have one of our licensed service professionals target these ants and address your infestation.

Why You Should Trust The Professionals In Adventure For Cockroach Problems 

Have you heard that cockroaches are dirty insects? This is actually an understatement. Roaches are attracted to unsanitary conditions. Some roach species lay their egg pouches (called oothecae) in rotting organic sludge. It is not good to have cockroaches crawling around inside your home, but do you really need professional service? We believe you do. Here are a few reasons why:

  • It can be frustrating, time-consuming, and costly to deal with cockroaches on your own. These insects have adaptive abilities that can make conventional treatments difficult.
  • If you attempt to get control of the cockroaches in your home and you fail, you might not know it. Roaches don't prefer to be seen. When cockroach control fails, and you are unaware of it, roaches will be allowed to continue to impact your health and to damage your property.
  • A professional uses field-tested methods and products that are known to be successful at arresting roach infestations.
  • A professional monitors the success of cockroach treatments and is able to tell you when your home is no longer infested.

If you're in need of a cockroach treatment in Adventure, Florida, let the service team here at Lindsey Pest Services guide you toward the right solution. Our service professionals can not only arrest the cockroach activity in your home, but we can also guide you toward a long-term solution to keep roaches and other harmful pests out of your house.
